Thanks to highmargin:

If you prefer a new machine for your basic office or HTPC build instead of an ex-corporate Dell, this Lenovo is a good choice

Will need to add an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD because Lenovo cut corners on the storage

    HDD as the OS drive!?!! Should be illegal in 2022

      thought this was a 12th Gen i3 and got excited for a second..

      "A recent executive brief from data storage industry analyst firm Trendfocus reports that OEMs have disclosed that Microsoft is pushing them to drop HDDs as the primary storage device in pre-built Windows 11 PCs and use SSDs instead, with the current deadlines for the switchover set for 2023."

        That’s definitely the right direction. Considering a 250GB SSD costs about the same as a 1TB HDD, it makes no sense to have a HDD as an OS drive.

        • What is the carbon footprint of an SSD compared to a HDD ?

            Both are zero. Neither have any feet.

    Not bad for a plex server

  • Is this a good and efficient replacement for a n40l? I worry about power usage from a machine that's old as the n40l.

    • That's what I'm on the hunt for too. I only need room for 2x 3.5 drives and 1x 2.5ssd and a 7th gen+ i3 would be fine

    Wow.

    Optical Drive
    Hard Disk

    Are we sure we don't need a:
    Floppy Drive
    or a
    Tape Drive?

      i've got my iomega zip drive ready and waiting..

    • There are 2 different models in the pictures, 2 front panels with no disk drive, 1 with disk drive. Wonder if it is actually fitted.

      • Both pictures are of the same model. It's a sliding panel.

  • Is there an option to update this with ssd and Gpu? To make it a budget gaming pc

    • GPU will cost more than the rest of the PC.

      At that point, you might as well get a prebuilt from TechFast or BPC, for a better deal with both SSD and GPU included.

  • $449 for a PC with an i3 and mechanical drive is a little farfetched.

  • HDD as boot drive?
    Oh dear!
    I'd be happier with a 128GB SSD 😂
